Mexico and Drug Lord Propaganda: AP/Yahoo Do PR for Drug Lords (BOYCOTT YAHOO)

"Family Says Mexican Drug Lord Suffering in Jail" (AP/Yahoo "News"

Read the above headline, which was FEATURED tonight on my U-Verse default page provided by Yahoo. Consider whether you can get any more incompetent, and EFIL, than the "Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press" (complete, official name). And Yahoo enables this stuff by using the despicable AP as its main source for featured "newsL headlines (as does everybody else who uses the despicable AP without heavy editin on every story, and without using other sources to balance the AP). Yes, BOYCOTT Yahoo, which features the WORST of the AP stories.

You don't understand what is wrong with the above quoted headline? Apply immediately to the AP and/or Yahoo. You have a great career waiting you. Why is it "news" what a Mexican drug lord's family "says" about the drug lord's treatment/experience in a MEXICAN JAIL. Since when has the American "news" media become a public relations outlet for Mexican drug lords put in jail? The despicable AP, and the entire mainstream "news" media, pretty much IGNORED the violence in Mexico (3000 people a year being murdered across the river in Juarez), while this blog alerted you to the problems in Mexico as early as 2006. Even today, I am absolutely positive that there are more significant stories about the violence that occurred in Mexico than the "suffering" of a Mexican drug lord in a Mexican jail. This is the kind of story that proves I am right when I say that there is NO worse "news" organization than the AP, in this or any other universe (because it is impossible).

I have lived in the Southwest since 1960. I have lived in El Paso, essentially, since 1968 (when I entered the army and took basic training in El Paso). All of that time, Mexican jails have been NOTORIOUS for being bad places. I am actually impressed that a Mexican drug lord would be "suffering" like ordinary people in a Mexican jail--although not impressed enough to consider this a "news" story. it is NOT a "news" story. Whoe cares whether the FAMILY of a Mexican drug lord is "suffering" in a Mexican jail. "Good" is the appropriate reaction. And who appointed the AP as an outlet for the family of a Mexican drug lord. No, I don't care how many other stories the AP puts out, or Yahoo features (most of them almost as bad as this one). This is still not "news". It is more "news" to loook at whether ordinary Americans are "suffering" in jail (in Mexico or here), or even whether ordinary MEXICANS are "suffering" in Mexican jails. The daily violence in Mexico is certainly more newsworthy, and the mainstream media still pretty much ignores it (except for the trully outrageous incidents). Yet, the AP will report the death of 4 "militants" in a predator attack in Pakistan.

But what is the agenda behind this story? You might think that the AP and Yahoo have no interest in acting as public relations flacks for the familites of Mexican drug lords. Well, that has nott kept them from being public relations flacks for both terrorists and Muslim extremists. But that is because they are ANTI-AMERICAN. What is anti-American about this story?

I admit I am not exactly sure, other than the idea that we are promoting the "crackdown" on Mexican drug lords. Still, it is prettymuch of a stretch to see how this headline fits into the usual far left agenda of the desicable AP (and Yahoo). Is it that the AP wants to applaud the Mexican government for not giving the drug lord the usual special tratment? That may be it, although everyone knows lthat corruption is endemic in Mexico. If one Mexican drug lord is "suffering", then it is probably because other Mexican drug lords want him to "suffer". Or maybe this is just a case of this family somehow having "connections" with someone at the despicable AP. And simple incompetence does infect almost all stories put out by the AP.

Thus, I don't know why the AP put out this truely despicable story, with no "news" value at all. I especcially don't understand the headline, which implies that OF COURSE it is "news" what a drug lord's family say about his "suffering". That is just plain stupid. It MIGHT be "news" if a Mexican drug lord is receiving special tratment in Mexico, rather than having to go through an ordinary jail experience. There is simply o way it is "newsA" that the FAMILY of a "drug lord" "says" that drug lord is "suffering". Does the AP expect me to DONATE to a fund to HELP the por drug lord? Sorry, this is not Japan we are talking about here. It is of interest to note that NOT ONE of the featured stories (about six of them), at the time of the referenced headline, was about the "suffering" of any individual families in Japan, or really about the aggregate "suffering" of PEOPLE in Jpan.

As I said, evil stuff by terrible people (AP and Yahoo--not the drug lords, although I would have to say that they are more drramatically evil than the people in the AP, and Yahoo, who find their "suffering" to be "news".

P.S. Note, as usual, that the above has neither been proofread nor spell checked, due to my bad eyesight. .
